Jared Goff Spoke About Jack Campbell’s Injury
In Week 8, the Lions lost linebacker Jack Campbell to a frightening injury that left him hospitalized.
According to Goff, after Detroit’s win over the Dolphins, the Lions put forward a performance that they hope would make Campbell proud.
“It was hard. It was hard,” Goff said. “But I think as the week went on, you start to think about, ‘What would he want? How would he want us to play?'”
“He wouldn’t even want us talking about him right now. He wouldn’t want us doing all this stuff about how we’re going to play for him. He wouldn’t want any of that. But he’s a special guy to us and means a lot.”
As Goff said, Campbell’s injury had a rallying effect on the rest of the club.
“I think all week, certainly early in the week, it was really hard to kind of get your mind back into what we have to do. Certainly for those guys on defense, he’s their nucleus. To be able to come back to work and work the way they did, and then play the way they did, and us as a team kind of rallying around each other and leaning on each other a little bit.”
